Actually stupidity is questioning what a boxer who has held 6 belts, all 4 at one weight when it had not been done for a long time, and who currently holds a belt at 147 "has done to suggest he is ready to fight Porter or Spence." Spence does not have a glittering resume but you have no problem with that. Who has Porter beat? He fight just close enough to lose and he is yet to beat a champion for a belt.
Stupidity is acting like beating Indongo for a belt really meant anything. Stupidity is acting like Crawford's opposition has been world class, when the reality is that Felix Sturm and Sven Ottke fought better opposition comparatively. Ask yourself, how bad is a division if Indongo or Postol have a title?
Forget about PBC, there are some good options for him that are decent competition coming to 147. Would like to see him in against Taylor, Prograis, Ramirez. Wouldn't even mind Maurice Hooker. Hope it's not Amir Imam or one of those other lower level fighters Top Rank sign. Those guys might not be the considered the welterweight elite yet but bring more name recognition and better fighters than Crawford's last 3/4 opponents.
Well since Postol is fighting for a title again this month I would say he is worthy. As for the "bad division" where was Mikey Garcia? Crawford did not control who or how the other belts fell where they did. He just kept beating those that had them at the time. Pretty easy to sit on the sidelines and complain about the quality of anyone holding a belt. Sorry that chaps your a-- but just keep hating. He has won belts at three separate weights. How does that compare with your heroes Porter or Spence? What champion has Porter defeated?
Well since most of them are at 140 it will be up to them to get to 147 before Crawford fights them. Tell the boys to come get some.
Postol is the same guy who chickened out from fighting Prograis, because he would have gotten broken in half. We'll stretch it, and give him Postol, because he made Matthysse his *****, but come on man. Postol wouldn't beat anyone in the top five at lightweight, and wouldn't beat anyone in the top 10 at welterweight.
By now, Crawford SHOULD have faced Garcia or Porter at the very LEAST @ WW. Who knows WTF Spence Jr. will be doing, or what condition he'll be in. Hell, TC versus Thurman would be a damn good bout. Virtually no reason for any of these to not occur.

I don't think Crawford's resume is that bad. It's that Crawford's just so good that he makes his opponents look bad. I remember when Postol was supposed to be a tough opponent for him.
Fans of Tyson Fury have been peddling the idea that Crawford is the one true lineal WW champ so speak to them.
It is a waste of talent... hopefully he gets a few nice match ups. Honestly, Crawford is the goods but I look at potential match ups with the cream of the division as even terms. No way to measure him as head and shoulders above any of the others.
